Oh, sorry for taking so long to respond. You need very expensive equipment to detect gravitational waves at all, and it's not off the shelf either. They might be able to get the cost for a leading edge facility under 1 billion dollars and 5 years build time depending on how well you manage it. I'm saying the frequency itself is not profound, it won't give you psi powers or expand your mind any more than the frequency of ocean waves will.
- peter_d_sherman 3y agoI'm guessing that Aquaman -- would respectfully disagree with that assessment! :-) <g> :-) But humor aside, an interesting question might be: Why is frequency -- such a fundamental component of Physics? What is the first principle or first principles -- that gives rise to frequency? We might step back a step, and say (and or observe) that waves and wave-like phenomena are present in many aspects of this Universe -- both seen and unseen. So do waves give rise to frequency -- or is it the other way around, does frequency give rise to waves? We see both phenomena present in the concept of energy -- energy of all sorts. We also see the concept of imbalance -- over half a wave cycle, and balance (or rebalance, if you will) over a full one... Which is in turn connected to the concept of vibration, oscillation, repetition and reversal (over a period of time, aka periodicity)... So, frequency is not profound? It seems to be intricately, intricately connected to a whole bunch of physical phenomena -- that are indeed profound! But that being said (and to agree with you!) -- no it probably won't give you psi powers or expand your mind any more than the frequency of ocean waves will. (Unless of course you somehow happen to be Aquaman! <g> :-) <g>)
